Hi folks,
I've just had 55m2 of decking delivered. I bought 5.2m boards as my deck us 5m wide.
On moving the boards to the frame I've been checking the boards. Around 30-40% of them have splits at the end, some small, some way to long. Some have massive knots fallen out or edges badly plained.
I'm using smooth side up so can't do with any appearance issues.
Is this a sign of really bad timber merchant and I should get a refund / source from elsewhere or us this to be expected?
Having spoken to merchant about the first two damaged ones I found he was more than happy to replace them.
Thanks,
